Lead Secret Service Agent Running Trump Security Described as Inexperienced and Incompetent

In a shocking turn of events, an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has left Americans demanding answers. Despite the gravity of the situation, key details remain shrouded in mystery, raising serious concerns about the Secret Service’s handling of the incident. We still don’t know the shooter’s motive, despite weeks of investigations.

Congress has been hounding the Secret Service. The previous head of the agency, a Biden appointee, resigned in disgrace. Her replacement, the acting director, cannot provide reasons for the attempt on Trump’s life.

Anyone with a cursory understanding of security will tell you that a shocking lapse in judgment and leadership allowed the shooter to scale that building. The Secret Service should have had that building under control, but they still won’t admit why this happened. Now, a whistleblower has come forward with shocking information, and Sen. Josh Hawley is revealing what they said.

From Fox News:
“The site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be, frankly, incompetent at their job,” Hawley said. “I’m also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.”

“She was not checking people’s IDs. She did not use Secret Service agents,” Hawley added. “Most of the agents there that day were not Secret Service agents. They were Homeland Security agents.”…

“Whistleblowers are coming forward from the Secret Service because they can’t believe what leadership is doing,” Hawley said.

Secret Service Under Fire

Senator Josh Hawley recently brought to light whistleblower claims that exposed significant failures within the Secret Service. According to these claims, agents were “scared to death” during the incident, which points to a troubling lack of preparedness and coordination. The whistleblower revealed that the lead agent was “inexperienced” and “incompetent.” In fact, the Trump campaign had been struggling with this agent for some time.

This lead agent seemed to lack the basic skills and experience to coordinate protection for Trump. She didn’t even use trained Secret Service agents on that day; most of the agents there were Homeland Security officers. Moreover, the lead agent was not checking people’s IDs. She was not enforcing normal security protocols anyone would have expected when protecting a former president.

Ripe for Controversy

These claims only add fuel to the fire that Democrats were intentionally putting Trump in harm’s way. We still don’t know why or how that young man attacked Trump. But add to that the fact that the Biden administration was providing sub-par security for Trump. This was the man running against Biden; Americans will believe the administration went out of its way to provide an inexperienced lead agent, knowing it would hamper Trump’s activities.

But did they expect Trump to be attacked? We don’t know that for sure. However, the administration’s negligence and hostility toward Trump were obvious. Biden and Harris put Trump in harm’s way by providing poor agents, and that led to this shocking attempt. Trump only survived because he turned his head a few centimeters. That is not a victory but a reminder of how incompetent and corrupt the Biden/Harris administration has been.

Public Outcry and Demand for Answers

The public reaction has been one of disbelief and frustration. Many Americans feel left in the dark about the circumstances surrounding the attempt on Trump’s life. The lack of transparency from the Secret Service has only fueled speculation and distrust.

Families and supporters of Trump are particularly vocal, demanding a thorough investigation and clear communication from authorities.

The incident has also reignited debates about political violence and the safety of public figures in an increasingly polarized society. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pressing for answers and pushing for measures to ensure such a breach never happens again.

Key Takeaways:

  • Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally, raising serious security concerns.
  • An SS whistleblower’s claims revealed significant lapses in the Secret Service’s preparedness and response.
  • According to Sen. Josh Hawley, the lead agent the White House provided was “incompetent” and “inexperienced.”
